Genera

Geomitridae is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.[1][2]

Anatomy

The family is characterized by the presence of a free right ommatophoral retractor (passing outside the peni-oviducal angle) and a double stimulatory apparatus.[1] A free right ommatophoral retractor has been linked to adaptation to xeric habitats[3]

Taxonomy

The family Geomitridae is subdivided in the following subfamilies (according to Razkin et al., 2015[1])

  • Subfamily Geomitrinae
    • tribe Cochlicellini Schileyko, 1972
    • tribe Geomitrini C. Boettger, 1909 - synonym: Ochthephilinae Zilch, 1960 (n.a.)
    • tribe Ponentinini Razkin et al., 2015
  • Subfamily Helicellinae
    • tribe Cernuellini Schileyko, 1991
    • tribe Helicellini Ihering, 1909 - synonym: Jacostidae Pilsbry, 1948 (inv.)
    • tribe Helicopsini H. Nordsieck, 1987
    • tribe Plentuisini Razkin et al., 2015
    • tribe Trochoideini H. Nordsieck, 1987
